Contralateral prefrontal and network engagement during left DLPFC 10 Hz rTMS: an interleaved TMS-fMRI study in healthy adults by Timo van Hattem, Kai-Yen Chang, Martin Tik, Paul Taylor, Jonas Björklund, Lucia Bulubas, Frank Padberg, Daniel Keeser, Mattia Campana

“…Conclusions: The 10 Hz rTMS protocol used in this study induced distinct target engagement and propagation patterns in the prefrontal cortex. These patterns differ from our previous interleaved TMS-fMRI findings using 600 stimuli of left DLPFC intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) at the same intensities. …”

The tale of the rattle: Using rattle size to understand growth and sexual dimorphism in an insular population of rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus caliginis) by Roman A. Nava, José Jesús Sigala‐Rodríguez, Nathaniel Redetzke, Ivan Villalobos‐Juarez, Cristian Franco‐Servin‐de‐la‐Mora, Ramses Rosales‐García, Rulon W. Clark

“…Here, we used a large database of rattle segment sizes recorded from island (Isla Coronado Sur, Baja California, Mexico) and mainland (Camp Pendleton, California, United States) populations of Western Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus and C. o. caliginis) that separated approximately 10,000 years ago to compare body sizes at different ecdysis cycles, which allowed us to assess differences in growth rates and patterns of sexual size dimorphism. …”

Climatic habitat regulates the radial growth sensitivity of two conifers in response to climate change by Ruhong Xue, Liang Jiao, Peng Zhang, Xuge Wang, Qian Li, Xin Yuan, Zhengdong Guo, Le Zhang, Yarong Qin

“…Moisture is critical for the growth recovery of both conifers in dry habitats when temperature-associated growth displays a ‘bimodal’ pattern during the growing season. These findings have significant ecological implications for understanding conifer forest processes in the context of global climate change.…”

Refuse or Ritual Deposit? The Complexity of Wari Household Archaeology by Donna J. Nash

“…The excavation of residential areas is a growing focus of research in Andean archaeology. Studies reveal that interpreting household remains from some prehispanic societies can be complex because of the nature of abandonment ritual, which may involve burnt offerings, the placement of valuables on floors, or the purposeful destruction of ceramic vessels that are distributed in patterned ways. …”
